MATH 238Differential Equations•
5 Cr.

Department

Division

Description:

Uses tools from algebra and calculus in solving first- and second-order linear differential equations. Students focus on applying differential equations in modeling physical situations, and using power series methods and numerical techniques when explicit solutions are unavailable. May include work with Laplace Transforms and systems of differential equations. Fulfills the quantitative or symbolic reasoning course requirement at BC. Recommended: MATH& 153.

Outcomes:

After completing this class, students should be able to:

Solve linear and non-linear first order ordinary differential equations.
